It has been almost a year since Mass Effect 2 was first released for the Xbox 360 and PC, but EA and BioWare have finally set the release date for the game's PlayStation 3 version. North American PS3 owners will be able to acquire BioWare's acclaimed sci-fi RPG on January 18. The European release will come just three days later, on January 21.

The PlayStation 3 release of Mass Effect 2 will include bonus content that was released as DLC for game's previous releases. For more information about what will be included with the upcoming release, see RPGamer's previous coverage on the subject.
